To commemorate this joyous occasion, we're so excited to bring you
a Birthday Blog Hop disguised as a Christmas Blog Hop!! We wanted to
celebrate Zoe's Birthday in style so there are lots of inspiration,
prizes, freebies and even a gallery album for you to express your own
birthday greetings. ;D This is one hop you don't want to miss and it
only goes from now until October 12th!

The general theme for
this hop is Christmas and what fun would a hop be without some new
images?! Zoe has released some fabulous new holiday themed images and
they are a must on anyone's holiday list - but the best part is you get

Before we get to the hop, there's more details and a surprise in order... Everyone in this blog hop is giving away Blog Candy!!
Whoohoo!! You'll have two weeks, until October 12th, to visit each
member in the hop below and winners will be announced on Friday,
October 14th on their individual blogs. Feel free to grab the badge
below and display it on your sidebar to spread the word about Zoe's
Birthday and Blog Hop!

I'd ask if you're ready for some
inspiration yet, but wait... we've got yet another surprise for you!!
We contacted one of Zoe's artists (S.H.) who also wanted to participate
and drew us this gorgeous party girl for the occasion. Thank you!!

This
is "Party Girl Zoe" and isn't she ca-ute! We wanted to make sure
everyone was included in our celebration so we're giving away Part Girl Zoe as a freebie to
everyone who wants to join in and spread some birthday cheer!! All you
need to do is create a new project using a Make it Crafty image or
chippies and upload it into the gallery HERE by October 12th. Then email Barbara at ForgottenScraps@gmail.com with a link to your project to claim her!

You should have arrived here from Angela's blog - if not, I would suggest you jump straight toMake It Colourful blogand start the hop from the beginning. Believe me, you don't want to miss a thing!

Aren't the new images just freakin' AWESOME!!! There is a lot of variety in new release but I chose to practice with these cute manga adorables - Angel and Cherub together. They are also available separately but I couldn't possibly bear to keep them apart.

I am still learning how to colour that style of an image and having great fun with it! I did go a bit overboard with angels robe and shading around her eyes and as a result she looks slightly grubby and suffering with sleep deprivation. Just like me, really.

lol Niks - you sure are a character. You bring so many deep hurting belly laughs into my life, and a saw jaw. LOL Another fabulous creation and even though you disagree and everyone tells you this all the time and I too sound like a broken record - you just 'have it' - you're special Niks. xxoo

fabulous card love all your shading! so pretty! lovely images too!Thanks 4 coming to play with us this week @ Top Tip Tuesday Hope to see you again soon you can enter up to 3 times each challenge, Hugs Samantha

They may not of turned out the way you expected but they are drop dead gorgeous!! Lucky me they're angels so now that I'm dead, I'll be in good company. LOL Love the depth and coloring - and those eyes, WOW, love the deep shadows on brow and I'm going to have to try that. Gorgeous card too. Hope you can find some sleep and thanks so much for being part of this hop - it's been exciting!! *Hugs

She's obviously an angel for a crafter, aren't we all sleep deprived?! I think she's adorable, by the way! And, of course, they belong together! Great hop, and thanks for the chance at some yummy looking candy.R/

This card is amazing. What a sweet image and your coloring is out of this world fabulous. Super gorgeous. Thank you so much for playing along with us at Speedy the Cat's Friends "Things with Wings" Challenge this week. It is a thrill to see what you created for our viewing pleasure. Good luck in the drawing and hope you can play again with us next week.

Oh, Annika, they're lovely. You are so harsh on yourself, the whole card is adorable and I like the chipboard snowflakes - a little strange for me now I'm living so far from any snow! Your blog hop candy is very generous too, just like you!

What a gorgeous card - I love the colours you've used...and your colouring is FAB!

Thanks for joining us over at Top Tip Tuesday this week for our '2 or more Ribbons' Challenge. Don't forget if you have a Top Tip to share with us you could win another prize! Just add (TIP) after your name when you link :)

Hi Annika, I just love the way you combined these two images!! They do look like they belong to eachother!! And about the dress, hé, she's wearing a grey dress ok, it was never white LOL!! The eyes actually look ok to me, at least she doesn't have bags underneath her eyes haha!! Hugs, Frea

About Me

I had managed to sail through 36 years of my life without any inclinations towards crafting and in firm knowledge that cutting a straight line is physically impossible and therefore pure myth.
Then I got preganant second time, had a sudden idea to make some cards and bought a guillotine.
The rest is history.
